Berkley x5 Braid 0.17mm 17kg 150m Flame Green

Berkley x5 Braid 0.17mm 17kg — Cut through heavy cover with confidence

The Berkley x5 Braid takes conventional braided line to the next level with a 5-carrier construction that delivers exceptional strength and abrasion resistance for tackling dense vegetation and challenging conditions.

5-strand construction for superior performance

While 4-strand braids are proven performers, the x5 adds a fifth PE (polyethylene) fiber to boost strength and durability. This extra strand creates a more robust line that handles heavy cover, thick weeds, and aggressive fish with ease.

Built for heavy vegetation and tough conditions

Designed specifically for fishing in dense cover, the x5 Braid resists abrasion and cuts through weeds reliably. The high-visibility Flame Green color lets you track your line and detect subtle bites, even when casting into thick structure.
